Super Lawyer with no cape

Brian Jordan is the lawyer you want…not only did he make me feel like I had a good lawyer…he made me feel like that lawyer was my friend…Brian gave me his personal cell # to call if I had questions…any time of day or night I called him…even during holidays…he would call or text back in minutes…I didn...’t have to talk to a receptionist…or wait for days for a response…Mr. Jordan is a very capable lawyer and is well known in Monroe County…when I met him I teased him asking him”where is your cape…thought you were a super lawyer”? Well he wears no cape…but he is a Super Lawyer…you ask me…If you do not use Brian Jordan…you got the wrong lawyer…

Outstanding Attorney - Brian C. Jordan

Brian is a very skilled and knowledgeable attorney. He provided sound advice and guidance with a complex legal issue that I was facing. Brian was always easy to reach and answered all my questions and concerns I had throughout the process. He was kind and compassionate and was able to negotiate a ...very favorable outcome for my case. I was extremely grateful for that! I would HIGHLY recommend Brian’s services!! ~

Very professional

Attorney Jordan explained everything throughly and professionally to help us with a traffic citation. His colleague, Gerald Brunell also was helping with the case and handled everything so we did not have any stress and a favorable outcome. Highly recommended

Brian was very professional through out our whole process when we hired him. Always got back to us very quickly, explained all the steps thoroughly and helped us get through it without stressing. He got the charges fully dropped and I’m very grateful for that! If you need help do yourself a favor and... hire him he’s the best!

Incredible Representation

Brian is absolutely fantastic. From the initial consultation, and throughout my whole DUI process, he has been extremely professional, nonjudgmental, kind, and informative. I highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for all of your help, Brian!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
